How does a bed and breakfast compare to a hotel?

By Elizabeth Arneson, About.com

Question: How does a bed and breakfast compare to a hotel?

Answer: Typically, staying at a bed and breakfast offers a more personal experience than staying at a hotel. If you choose to, you can interact directly with the innkeeper and other guests, something that isn't always practical at a hotel.

The breakfasts, which usually are included in the room rate, tend to be topnotch.

B&Bs have fewer rooms than most hotels, and they are often located in converted historic properties or converted homes.
